Sam Adams Lakeview Taco Fest

What took so long? The glorious taco will get the spotlight it has long deserved when the tortilla-wrapped fave is celebrated at this inaugural festival that kicks off on the first day of autumn.

Whether one prefers theirs with a hard or soft shell and filled with a meat, chicken, guacamole or one of dozens of imaginative ingredients, this new September happening on the Southport Corridor is guaranteed to be a popular addition to the Windy City's food fest scene.

There will also be special beer and taco pairings, and visitors will be able to text their vote for Chicago's "Best Taco."
